OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
Abortions should be left to states to decide, There is no 1 size fits all answer.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Neutral
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Again, The states should decide on this matter. I am Pro Life and also believe women have the right to decide what's the best for themselves.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
I will not support any federal bills for abortions, They must be left to the states to decide.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I would support legislations to reduce Americans overall tax owed and cut excessive and unnecessary spending.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
If someone decided to take a loan out, They're expected to pay back that loan. It's not fair for other people that have lost their homes, their mean of transportations because their loans wasn't forgiven and those with student loans get forgiven? I would've made it cheaper for them to pay back the loan but never eliminate the money they borrowed.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Churches has no place in politic and MUST stay separated, The day US government force religion on it's people, that will be the day United States cease to exist. The leaders must be impartial when creating and enforcing laws that protects people's liberty.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
In private sector, they're free to do businesses however they wish. Public service however must serve everyone regardless of beliefs.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccinations should not be forced upon anyone for any reason by any entity. If any entity wants to require vaccinations they're welcome to require it but must be able to offer alternatives.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
B) I believe United States government have obligations to ensure well beings of it's people at minimum and private health care still offered.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C- We need to take a step back and focus on our internal problems and stop being world police, I believe we should still continue to provide aid to other countries on reduced basis at least until we solve most of domestic problems.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Without a doubt, CCP is the biggest existential threat US currently has. We must put an end to CCP's campaign to destroy United States. CCP is playing the long game.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
They're our strongest ally for strategic purposes in Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Lack of support and mental health for soldiers existing the armed forces, No incentives to stay and politicians in DC playing with legislations that impact them and their families which is highly unacceptable. Vet, Soldiers and their families should NEVER be used as a tool to hold up anything in DC. People willing to serve and risk their lives in the military should be rewarded better than what happening now.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
CLOSE THE BORDER AND LOCK IT DOWN AND ALLOW THE SOUTHERN STATES RETAIN CONTROL OF THE BORDERS IF THEY WISH
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Those who made official requests at the checkpoints or the embassy should be allowed as that is the first sign they're willing to follow our LAWS, Crossing the border illegally is strong indicator they won't respect our laws. If they want to work to better their lives, They should be allowed to work and occupy jobs that companies is struggling to fill by citizens.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Choose not to answer
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Neutral
i am 50 50 on this, In my State the education is under the district control and they're ranked nearly last out of all districts in the country. I feel with US Dept of Education having directives to improve that district or withhold federal funding til they improve would be beneficial, especially if board of trustees is screwing the district year after year.
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Indoctrination of bodily mutilation or ideologies should be ILLEGAL. Children are growing and extremely vulnerable and easily twisted into doing things they'll years later regret. They should be left alone.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe what is right and what is wrong and everyone has equal freedom to live as long they don't force their beliefs upon others or infringe others right to liberty and peace.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
1 voter must have photo identifications to have their vote counted to prevent fraud.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Agree
The college is flawed, It can easily be manipulated by redistricting into another party favors, We should go with popular votes and keep it simple.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
If a person biologically a male, Should be identified as male regardless of their personal preference and not allowed to join women sports or access their spaces. Same for person born biologically female.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Choose not to answer
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I am leaning on renewable energy sources such as solar panels, Wind turbines, etc more now than fossil fuels, We do not have infinite resource to supply the fast growing demands Unless we somehow started mining for abundant resources in space.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Lean Conservative
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To keep us safe from those who wants to do us harm, and provide infrastructures to improve our quality of life.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I do not agree with redirecting funds from Police Departments to Community Programs. We need the police to maintain law and order. In fact i think there should be increased funding to better train police officers to learn to identify the situation and best method to diffuse without loss of ANY life
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
NONE! Restrictions hurt LAW ABIDING owners. Criminals will find a way to find guns and arm themselves any way possible. Citizens need to take up arms and training. Criminals will fear for their lives if they know citizens around them is armed and ready to defend in split second. No matter what, People with mental illnesses or people wanting to inflict harm will ALWAYS find a way to do it, What is more quicker to ending the threat than armed citizens nearby?
